"As for your point on most people not trying to game on laptops, 1) You have no clue what most people do on laptops and 2) Most people sit with their laptop on their lap plugged into the wall so who cares about battery life anyway?"
Please show me one link from this site or any other where someone has asked for a gaming machine and a laptop was recommended. If possible people will plug in, but the whole point of a laptop is portability, where often you can't plug in...classrooms, wifi hotspots, job sites, in the car, ect have limited outlets available....
Yes, the reviewer might have overstated the similarity a little, but he went out of his way to point out exactly what you are complaining about....and he never claimed they were "identical". Once again you deliberately ignore the purpose of the article to find a reason to claim bias. If this had been an article on which one was the better gamer would you then come running with hysterical claims that it was ignoring the fact the intel has a longer battery life, even if it pointed it out in the article? NO, of course you wouldn't.
You keep quoting the article where he pointed out the AMD has a stronger IGP and then saying "but the AMD has a better IGP"....yeah, just like the reviewer said. Soooo....if anyone wants that they know which one to buy because of this review. But, if they are reading the article based on the title and purpose of the article, they are probably more interested in which solution will give them the most battery life, even if it comes at the sacrifice of a weaker IGP.
Since you can't argue the facts of the article, you try to manufacture something to make it look like AMD was somehow slighted. I am tired of seeing this from AMD enthusiast. I have nothing against AMD, and often recommend them for budget builds. But you let your own predjudice blind you to the instances when intel can be better for someone else. In your eyes Intel is never better in any circumstance, and the whole world is out to get AMD. You do your cause a disservice when you post things like this because YOU make AMD and AMD enthusiast look bad, not the article.
